New Delhi, March 30: A DU Professor has
approached the Delhi High Court seeking to ban the screening
of recently released "Black and White" alleging that the movie
portrays his community in a bad light.
Dr Khalid Alvi, head of Urdu Department in Zakir Hussain
college, has contended in his petition that the Anil Kapoor
starrer portrays his community in a bad light and its
screening should be stayed.
"The producer, director and the script writer have
intentionally produced the film with an anti-Muslim angle," he
said. He alleged the film shows his community as harbouring
terrorists.
The film, produced and directed by Subhash Ghai, was
released all over the country early this month.
The petitioner said that his character had been depicted
in a bad light in the film which was very disturbing.
The students and the staff of the college were stunned
and shocked that the college was used with such a malafide and
inimical intention of the film-maker, hand in glove with
the Censor Board, to malign their community as anti-national
and unpatriotic, the petition said.
